Smooth & Spicy Boursin Cheese Dip

Why buy Boursin when you can make something even better in your own kitchen with a handful of ingredients you probably already have?

Softened butter and cream cheese get creamed together until smooth, then blended with pressed garlic, a touch of white onion, Italian seasoning and just enough milk to make it spreadable.

Minced walnuts folded in at the end add a subtle crunch and earthy richness that store-bought can’t touch.

Serve it at room temperature with crackers, sliced baguette, broccoli florets, apple slices or raw veggies for dipping.

Variations

• Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for actual heat behind that “spicy” promise.
• Swap walnuts for toasted pecans or pine nuts for a different flavor profile.
• Roll the mixture into a log, wrap in plastic and chill for a sliceable cheese spread.

Pro Tips

• Let the butter and cream cheese soften fully at room temperature before mixing. Fighting with cold dairy just makes lumps.
• Serve at room temperature, not cold. The flavors open up and the texture stays creamy instead of stiff.
